Provision for the Vision

1 Kings 17:17-24

King James Version (KJV)

17 And it came to pass after these things, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick; and his sickness was so sore, that there was no breath left in him.

18 And she said unto Elijah, What have I to do with thee, O thou man of God? art thou come unto me to call my sin to remembrance, and to slay my son?

19 And he said unto her, Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into a loft, where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed.

20 And he cried unto the Lord, and said, O Lord my God, hast thou also brought evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by slaying her son?

21 And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried unto the Lord, and said, O Lord my God, I pray thee, let this child's soul come into him again.

22 And the Lord heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.

23 And Elijah took the child, and brought him down out of the chamber into the house, and delivered him unto his mother: and Elijah said, See, thy son liveth.

24 And the woman said to Elijah, Now by this I know that thou art a man of God, and that the word of the Lord in thy mouth is truth.

    So the Lord caused the woman's previous obedience in feeding the Prophet to lay in wait for a time that He would release blessings on her and her household. The Lord also used the faith of the Prophet to speak out a miracle. Take the rest of this story to the Lord and ask Him to bring to your remembrance a time or times that you did the same and how down the road you or a member of your household was saved, healed or delivered from a trap of the devil because of that previous obedience and spoken word of Faith. Maybe right now you may be ready to step into your future and fear of the unknown has you bound. Remember the Lord supplies the provision for the vision He has given you, so right now we agree with you and the Lord and declare that you are set free of all that holds you back and ask Gods provision and protection as you step out into His vision!
